Franck Muller’s Vanguard Aero Revolution 3 exposes a spectacular triple-axis tourbillon

Franck Muller has always treated complicated watchmaking as an opportunity for dramatic design, and the Vanguard Aero Revolution 3 Skeleton takes that instinct to its logical conclusion. Launched among the brand's 2026 creations, the piece combines its recognizable curved tonneau case with a deeply openworked movement.

The attention-grabbing element is a triple-axis tourbillon. Rather than a conventional regulator in one plane, nested rotating cages make the mechanical action visible from multiple angles, emphasizing the depth beneath the sapphire crystal.

The sculpted case acts almost as a frame around the architecture. The rose-gold version photographed here pairs its warm metallic surfaces with dark strap and open dial, inviting close inspection of the exposed mechanism.

Franck Muller says this technical creation is limited to eight pieces. It is an uncompromising example of a small-series watch meant as much for the spectacle of mechanics as for displaying the time.
